Pretty much exactly what some of us have already said. Good signing for the Rams. Low risk, high reward.

Rams sign WR Kenny Britt (1 year, $1.4M; $550K guaranteed): B+ Grade
This signing has a ton of upside. Kenny Britt is very talented and is capable of being a solid No. 1 receiver when healthy. The problem has been just that though, as he hasn't been 100 percent since the beginning of the 2011 season. For this price, however, St. Louis isn't taking much of a financial risk. If Britt reverts to September 2011 form, it'll really help Sam Bradford. If not, there won't be any consequences as far as the cap is concerned.

The one downside is that Britt can potentially poison the locker room with his negativity. The Rams could just cut him, but Britt may do some damage before that if he's unhappy. However, he has played under Jeff Fisher before, so there's only a minimal chance that he hurts his new team.

Everybody seems to be a school teacher assigning grades. Kind of crazy assigning a grade for just one FA transaction. The analysis by itself is fine.

I give your comment a C based on the curve.

The grade was just for the Britt signing, not for the Rams entire FA.

I know man that's why I was mocking it. The comment about the Draft was that as well.

In the entire FA I'll give us a B+ - to spite Walter.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could take all these grading systems and use it on our politicians.

We'd have some gnashing of teeth and real to life, cat eyeball scratching and donnybrooks then.

Forget the NFL, made for TV, raw wriggly slimy politician in the pits every Sunday.

I don't see people fearing Britt "poisoning" anything. He's back with Fisher and Fisher don't play that. The WRs of the Rams have a positive attitude and aren't going to let some dude show up and affect them.
